Re:
Thanks a lot for this! Reading about the tWoS mod made me buy Silent Hunter 5.
I have played it a few days now and I must say I enjoy it. Though there are ofcourse still some bugs here and there. But nothing game breaking. But I wonder if someone else has same graphical glitches like me: A few times I see some black smoke dots far away on the ocean. They disappear and re-appear sometimes. It's somewhat immersive breaking for me. I also wonders what the tWoS haven't fixed that I could get with a mod using the JSGME. |
Steam Issues
So I installed SH5 for the third time this week with the TWOS mod and latest update file. I followed all instructions very intensely. I was very happy to finally see it all work after battling to get it right. I played for about two hours, enjoyed the game and was very much looking forward to playing it again tonight.
Sadly when I got in and tried loading the game it failed. I then investigated the sh5.exe file to see steam had somehow decided to rename it and it was whited out. I restarted Steam which then proceeded to get a 500MB update.The game then loaded back up, initially with the TWOS graphic but without the black 5 min pause screen. Instead when the in-game menu appeared it was the standard menu. So I am now re-installing for a 4th time. I have looked at all Steam options to try avoid any conflicts from within Steam itself. I’m pretty eager to get this game to work with some stability as I would like to delve deeper into TWOS. So would really appreciate some solid advice. Thanks in advance Heinz Von Hunter |
One thing I did with my Steam SH5 install was immediately after I got it installed and let Steam do any updates, I copied all of the files inside the SH5 folder and pasted them into a new folder that I named "TWoS", since I was going to install the mod in that copy. I then added the SH5.exe to the Steam Start menu (and changed the shortcut's name to "TWoS") so that it would update its "license" via Steam when I played. I then did my TWoS install.
So I ended up with "C:\Games / Steam / SteamApps / common / Silent Hunter 5 /"both with identical files, until the TWoS installation is performed in the TWoS folder copy... :salute:and"C:\Games / Steam / SteamApps / common / TWoS /" |
Steam Issues
I’m going to make a copy of the Silent Hunter 5 Folder and rename it TWOS along with the sh5.exe in that specific folder which ill rename twos.exe. Hopefully that way steam can mess with the sh5.exe but won’t notice the other twos.exe in the other folder.
After reading other posts here on Subsim the developer of TWOS seems very helpful and has gone to extreme lengths to get this to work right, so I can only imagine it's an issue with Steam. Heinz Von Hunter |

Well The_Hunter, I left the SH5.exe file alone. I renamed the short-cut for it on the Steam Start menu is all I re-named... what you're planning might work, although I'm not sure the Steam security will like it... :hmmm: :salute:
